[The Infant System by Samuel Wilderspin]@TWC D-Link bookThe Infant System CHAPTER IX 50/76
Q.In what did Jesus increase? A.In wisdom and stature.
Q.What do you mean by increasing in stature? A.Growing larger. Many books of scripture stories have been written for children, but it is far best to select simple and suitable passages from the sacred volume, and have them properly illustrated by coloured plates.
By this method the children become acquainted with the very letter of scripture.
Written stories often leave very wrong impressions; and the history of David and Goliah has been given in an infant school, so that it would make an excellent counterpart to Jack, the giant killer.
Surely such things ought never to be! Abundance of historical portions, full of moral and religious instruction, and such as are calculated from their simplicity and beauty, to deeply impress the minds of children, can be selected from both Testaments; but the miracles and parables of our Saviour constitute the richest store. MORAL TRAINING. One of the grand aims of the infant system was intended to improve the system of moral training.
